Competitions from 2014 get included as new players are inducted and their old games become ratable.

Members are encouraged to report their performances in tournaments outside Northern Ireland; including games with players from other unions helps calibrate our rating system to keep it on a par with other union's systems.

Inductees for this period include

  • James Barbour (Ballynafeigh)
  • Ben Campbell (QUB)
  • Bobby Campbell (Ballynafeigh)
  • Edward Doak (Ballynafeigh)
  • Liam Ferris (Ballynafeigh)
  • Milad Foozoni (QUB)
  • Billy Jackson (Ballynafeigh)
  • Ben McBride (Mallusk)
  • James Shaw (Ballynafeigh)
  • James Weir (Ballynafeigh)

These and other registered players can view their game and rating histories from the Membership List
